My marriage ended after 49 years due to PTSD from Vietnam. No golden years for me but anybody out there who has this it’s less shame and hurt to ask for help than to take matters into your own hands. We are here because God wants us here. His plan is just not done yet. Thanks,Dan, for caring so much. And what a wonderful reaction. Stay with us. We need you in the world.

Dan is not only an AMAZING singer who's worked incredibly hard to get where he is, he's an even more AMAZING human being. I get tremendous joy from listening to all of his music and I have absolutely mad respect for the man. Thank you for the reaction.

You are loved (Don't give up) by Josh Groban is also an older video by Dan Vasc. Beautiful.

Dan is special in many ways. Yes, he's a very talented artist but he's also a great guy. Thanks for your openness and your honest reactions. You are appreciated.

Thank you for this & Thank You Dan Vasc❤

Dan Vasc with his powerful voice ist a great singer and artist. This was a touching tribute to Chester. Thank you for your reaction.😊

First off I want to thank you for your service in protecting us here in America. Thank you for sharing your reaction. My dad was a cop all my life. He always told my brother that men can cry also, Just not all the time. He always told him if he stubs his toe would not be the time, but stuff like this is a good time. Don't let your problems fester. Go get help don't give up. It can also help others with this problem. God bless you.

Thanks for playing this great cover and moving outro. Dan also suffered from depression for several years. He’s very vocal about the subject, and often posts something in September, the International Suicide Prevention Month. Heart of Steel and Don’t Give up, for example. Best wishes to you. We need you! ❤️

Especially heart of steel, where Dan starts with statistics, a must listen. But don't give up is another, also son of pain.

@@RickcandKai I just wrote about Heart of Steel, also, and...YES! Son of Pain is another ecxellent choice!!!

What amazing music Dan makes. And his empathy is humbling.

Thankyou once again for your heartfelt reaction. This always makes me tearful. A lovely gesture from Dan and beautifully sung. Love that you enjoy Dan.

Dan had a period in his own life where he struggled with severe depression. He has another video which he dedicated specifically to those suffering from depression. It's intro is in Portuguese (so subtitles/translation on) if you choose to check it out: a cover of ManoWar's "Heart of Steel"

Dan has been there. He truly knows how it is. By the grace of God and his music he is still with us. Thanks for your reaction. Thank you for your service.

❤This is a beautiful tribute to Chester. Dan is the only artist I am aware of who does these tributes to fellow artists. Dan also suffered from depression and talks about it on several of his videos. He often offers words of support to those who may need it. Many thanks for your reaction!

Dan had depression for 2 years and music helped him overcome it. I always cry when I watch this video, because it's so painful. tks

This one hits hard due to Dan's own battle with depression. Thankfully, he's overcome it.

Thank you for this reaction. I had a depression after my mother passed away. Luckily I got out stronger. Don’t ever give up on life. Suggestion: Heaven is a place on earth

Now you've seen Dan's very heart. That was one of the first few songs I listened to, back last April, after "Amazing Grace." I watched Dan emote with THAT journey, and then when I heard THIS one, I began to see where Dan comes from. I, too, have been through a time when all I wanted to do was just start driving and in some place where nobody would find my car for a long, long time, simply drive off the edge of the road, and just...not be there...anymore...forever. I thank God that He rescued me from that, very gently, yet firmly. In fact, it was VERY much like how Dan ministered his plea at the end of this song. I will never, ever forget that, and I can't watch this one without my heart going back to that time, and the plea comes from MY heart, as well. - - - - - - - - - - There are several more that Dan does that are similar. One of them is, "Heart Of Steel" - MANOWAR cover. At the beginning, Dan gives a very heartfelt message in Brazilian Portuguese. The CC button works, so that you can see every word that Dan says, in whatever language you have programmed the button to give you. The song itself is just gorgeous, and the words...wow! More of Dan's heart. I hope you will react to it at some point. If I'm feeling down, it's one of my "go to" pieces of music. It calls you OUT of that pit...so, so wonderful.

I appreciate your openess DDPerks and Dan is very kind to bring it up and give his love to Chester's family. Suicide is a lonely place to be. I've felt suicidal a couple times in my life, but never tried it. But one does feel lonely and like no one cares at times like that. Fortunately, those times have passed.

Thank you for your reaction to this emotional cover by Dan. He also talked about the depression he had years ago. I recently saw a video of David Draiman (Disturbed) discussing his depression. Like they said, you can't see depression. I too went through this difficult time and can very well empathize with what is affecting you at this moment. Thank you for sharing

I lost my Mother to suicide and last year we lost my beautiful great niece at 24 to suicide. So this always touches my heart...Dan understands depression first hand.. Thank you for reacting to this

You are amazing Sir. Thank you for being there for us who you don’t even know. I have never experience depression my self, but my son, he is a music writer and TV producer, struggels with that. I think creative persons easyer get that. And just because of that they are creative. Love to you Sir from Norway❤

What a wonderful reaction video, brother! I know you mentioned that no one suggested this song…..this is why…I LOVE ALL of Dan’s glorious masterpieces, and figuring out a favorite song for me is hard, because I love them all! 👏🏼😁 It is like how God passionately loves all of His kids…everyone is a favorite! Songs are like people…they are all unique and different, and I appreciate each one like a masterpiece. Dan did a phenomenal job on this and it was so honorable and tenderhearted of Dan to speak about depression, and showing such love for Chester’s family, friends, band, and fans. I thank God that you are still here with us, brother! I thank God Dan is still with us….I might have never known about you if it wasn’t for Dan’s music. Our lives are to be a blessing to others…we are to be like a loving family. We all need each other. Instruments are no good by themselves without musicians to play their songs. You are a jewel of a man! You have an amazing heart, and I believe total healing from PTSD, in Jesus’ name! May you have the most outrageously joy-filled day!!! 👏🏼🔥🔥❤️🇧🇷
